Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- 2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
- 3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, ½ cup melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- 4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- 5. Pour and Bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 6. Cool Slightly: Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- 7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: While bread is warm, melt ¼ cup butter in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon.
- 8. Coat Warm Bread: Brush all sides of the warm bread generously with melted butter. Immediately roll the buttered bread in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- 9. Cool and Serve: Place bread back on the wire rack to cool completely, allowing the coating to set. Slice and serve!
